[note: a "Moral Dilemma" faced by our dear, resourceful Skeek was one I had to peek in on.

Why a dilemma, exactly? (This is a straight question, not a rebuttal.) Is it because it's actually painful to listen to, because of personal associations? then maybe it doesn't belong.
Otherwise, sometimes a dark song associated with a painful experience becomes a cathartic listen everytime, a purging rush -- a kind of grim victory -- then I'd definitely include it.
And if your reservations are more objective than that, i.e., that it's just a really dark song (one I happen to find unnervingly beautiful, every time), I say, *piffle* If it moves you, baby...

ps you asked awhile back: I'm on the West Coast, far, far away in storm-battered Vancouver.
pps: oh-- your post under Michael's thread explains the "obvious" reasons you neglected to mention here: it's for the
girlfriend! Well, if she were, say, 35 *ahem* I'd say she'll dig it. But she probably isn't, and only you know if she'll take it right.
